Student Services

The offices of student services at South Louisiana Community College, under the direction of the Dean of Students, offers a variety of programs and services to assist students in reaching their educational goals.

Counseling Services

The counseling office seeks to provide students with professional services in the areas of academic, career and personal counseling. The center is committed to supporting the students in order for them to experience success while at SLCC. Counseling services, as well as workshops and a College Success Seminar, are available to all students.

Academic Advising

Academic advising is available to all new, returning and continuing and transfer students at SLCC and is provided by the student services staff along with faculty advisors. The advising staff and faculty advisors assist students in making career decisions, planning a program of study and selecting and scheduling classes.

Testing Center

The student services unit will coordinate and administer all testing services and assessments. The ACT Compass is administered by appointment only and used for placement of the students into appropriate coursework.  Career assessment inventories are also provided through the Testing Center.

Students with Disabilities

Students who are in need of special support services are advised to contact the Office of Student Services. South Louisiana Community College is in compliance with the regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Reasonable accommodations for qualified persons with disabilities will be made provided the students have self-identified with the Office of Student Services and have provided required documentation.

New Student Orientation

South Louisiana Community College provides formal orientation sessions to new and transfer students entering the college. These sessions are mandatory and provide information the student will need to integrate into the college community as well as provide awareness of the student’s academic and personal responsibilities as a student. The orientation is also provided on the SLCC website for those students who find it difficult to attend the campus sessions.
